The news of the Xiao Family's annihilation spread quickly.
This was not a trivial matter, and coupled with the imperial power adding fuel to the flames, this resulted in the entire Jia Ma Empire being spread throughout the country in just a few days.
The mysterious strong man who attacked Xiao Family also caused a lot of speculation. Especially after Wutan City was discovered on the battlefield hundreds of miles away, the rumors became more and more mysterious.
Because judging from the traces on the battlefield, the person who took action was at least Dou Wang Dou Emperor level strong.
For this reason, many people rushed over to pay their respects. There were so many people that they caused serious damage to the first scene.
Among them, there was a middle-aged mercenary with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who was very lucky. Like everyone else, he curiously explored the deep cracks in the ground.
Different from other people's simple amazement, he found a Storage Ring! His heart was beating rapidly at this moment. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the man took hold of Storage Ring and stuffed it into his crotch. He couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face.
"Old Zhang, why are you laughing? Did you find a treasure?"
"No, I remembered a happy thing."
"What's going on?"
"I'm going to be a father."
It was simply fooled, and the mercenary who asked the question didn't think much about it. The strong men fighting here were not fools, so how could they leave behind trophies? They were just here to gain experience, so that they could brag in the future, and no one had the intention of picking up the slack.
If you really want to find something missing, you might as well sneak in the Xiao Family.
Unfortunately, Xiao Family has been blocked by the City Lord's Mansion.
The lucky Old Zhang silently thought that it was time to change his life to a place where no one knew him.
Imperial Capital.
The remodeled Xiao Yan just arrived on a flying monster, feeling the prosperity of Holy City and looking in the direction of the Misty Cloud Sect.
"Nalan Yanran, I'm here as promised, are you ready?"
Thinking of Three-Year Agreement and Xiao Yan clenching his fists a few months later, he couldn't wait to wash away the shame.
After staring for a few seconds, he looked back, and Xiao Yan walked towards Mitel Auction House.
Suddenly, the conversation of several passers-by attracted his attention.
"Have you heard? Then something happened to Wutan City Xiao Family. Everyone in the house was killed."
"Which Xiao Family?"
"You don't even know this, Xiao Family is where Xiao Yan, who turned from genius to waste, is."
"You are asking whether it was Misty Cloud Sect who took action. I heard that Xiao Yan and Misty Cloud Sect's Young Sect Master Nalan Yanran had a lot of trouble. When they broke off the engagement, they decided Three-Year Agreement out of control."
Abba Abba, Abba Abba.
A group of people were discussing the hottest topics at the moment and making various speculations.
Suddenly, the person with the loudest voice was grabbed by the collar from behind. The force was so strong that he staggered on the spot and almost lost his balance.
"What kind of dog doesn't have eyes?"
I cursed half of it and swallowed the rest silently.
All he saw was an ordinary-looking young man with red eyes, and he could feel the surging anger and murderous intention that was about to explode, making people feel guilty unconsciously.
"What did you just say? Say it again!"
Ignoring the strange looks from passers-by around him, Xiao Yan grabbed the man and yelled at him.
"Where is that sentence?"
"Xiao Family, you said Xiao Family was exterminated!"
"Ah, yes, yes, this matter has been spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire now. Everyone knows that it is terrible. I heard that when City Lord's Mansion helped collect the body, a big hole was dug and it was almost filled."
Bang! Before the man could finish his words, he was punched to the ground by Black-Clothed Young Man.
"You're really bullying my wife."
Just when he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to resist, he saw that Black-Clothed Young Man Dou Qi Wings had already rushed into the sky.
Dou Wang expert?!
Cold sweat flowed down.
In the sky, Xiao Yan has given his body to Yao Chen's control.
"Teacher, hurry up, please!"
A low voice sounded from my heart, very depressing.
Yao Chen controlled his body, sighed softly, and hurried on as fast as he could, while also constantly comforting and persuading.
"Xiao Yan, calm down. I understand how you feel now, but there is something you must consider clearly. This Soul Hall is probably coming for our master and apprentice. Xiao Family just suffered a disaster. It is very likely that they are still at Wutan City, waiting for you to fall into the trap."
"You must think clearly. If you keep Qing Shan here, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Only if you are alive can you hope to avenge Xiao Family!"
"Of course, if you have to go, my teacher will accompany you. In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Xiao Yan didn't reply and remained silent.
Yao Chen said no more and accelerated towards Wutan City.
He understands Xiao Yan's feelings. People are all emotional. Many times he knows that there are tigers in the mountain, but he still has to go to the tiger mountain. If Xiao Yan can treat Xiao Yan indifferently even if his family is destroyed, he will not accept him as a disciple.
The scenery on both sides was flying back, and Yao Chen reached the limit of speed.
Half a day later, the outline of Wutan City could be seen from a distance.
At this moment, Xiao Yan finally spoke.
"Teacher, stop. You are right. I was impulsive. I have to inform my eldest and second brothers as soon as possible, as well as Xiao Yu who are going to the Jia Nan Academy. As long as we are still here, Xiao Family still has hope!"
Hearing this, Yao Chen finally showed a look of relief.
He could understand Wutan City's rash reply, but he didn't agree with it. He was quite satisfied that Xiao Yan could calm down so quickly and suppress his hatred in his heart.
"The notification is not urgent for the time being. We cannot return to Wutan City openly, but we can sneak in. With my current Spiritual Power, there is still hope. We only heard about the Xiao Family. If we want to find out the truth, we must go in and take a look."
"Teacher, is it risky?"
"Don't worry, I still have some concealment methods as a teacher. Just control your emotions."
"I understand, please teacher."
Yao Chen nodded and immediately took action.
Not far away, I battled wits and courage with the air all the way, until late in the evening, I finally touched Wutan City and sneaked into the ruined Xiao Family.
There has been no danger, and Yao Chen gradually became aware of a problem.
"Those people must have left. Judging from the traces on the scene, it was indeed the work of the Soul Hall. Let's go to the place where the corpse was collected and take a look."
"Yeah."
Xiao Yan responded in a deep voice.
The death pit is not far away, just two or three miles outside the city. City Lord's Mansion No one is guarding here. Under the hazy night, the messy corpses pile up like mountains, which looks very scary.
No one who is timid would dare to come to this scene easily.
After angrily killing several mercenaries who touched the corpses at night, Xiao Yan regained control of his body and fell to his knees with a 'pop'.
In this pit, he saw familiar faces, and he felt that it was because of himself that he caused them trouble. For a moment, he felt a strong sense of guilt and suppressed his anger. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, feeling that he was guilty.
Yao Chen also floated out, also silent.
He is also responsible for this matter.
But soon, Yao Chen discovered something unusual.
"Xiao Yan, no, there's something wrong!"
Yao Chen raised his hand, and Soul Power flew up with a corpse in his arms.
Under Xiao Yan's puzzled gaze, a little Soul Power rushed into the 'corpse', as if it had punctured an invisible film. The originally stiff and white corpse suddenly jumped up and waved to fight back.
After seeing the people on the ground clearly, he stopped in time and looked at the surrounding environment. He was frightened and shocked, but also confused.
"Third Young Master? What's going on?"
"I don't know, Xiao Ming, please slow down for a while and we'll talk about the rest later."
Xiao Yan can recognize this person. He is the son of a manager in the Xiao Family. He is not very familiar with him, but he can also name him.
Yao Chen ignored them, Spiritual Power spread out, carrying corpses and flying out, repeating the previous actions.
Soon, forty or fifty people stood up in the originally quiet and cold open space.
From the initial anger, to confusion and fear, to now the sadness and endless sobbing.
"That's all. There is good news that is not good news. I didn't find your father's body. They survived because someone secretly used Spiritual Power to simply seal their life breath, causing them to fall into a state of suspended animation. Even if we don't come over, they will gradually wake up in a few days."
Xiao Zhan was not found, and Xiao Yan was slightly relieved.
I thought no one from the Xiao Family survived, but dozens of them survived, which was a surprise.
Suppressing his doubts for the time being, Xiao Yan looked at the old man in front of the crowd.
"Great Elder, what happened to the Xiao Family that night?"
The sudden change in the family has caused the people of the Xiao Family, who were not united before, to change at this moment and put aside their previous prejudices.
Great Elder looked away from the pit, his sad eyes gradually filled with anger.
"They are a group of mysterious people wearing black robes. There are about a dozen of them. They are very powerful. Dou Technique, who we tried our best to defeat, was easily defeated by them. The gap was like a chasm. We could only watch helplessly as our clan members were slaughtered to death."
"In the end, only me, the second child, the third child and the clan leader were left. A man in black robe asked us about the whereabouts of Ancient Jade. It was only then that we knew what their purpose was, just for that unfounded bullshit Ancient Jade!"
"The clan leader cursed loudly, and then we were attacked by a vicious man. A man in black robes pierced our bodies with chains. At that time, I only felt that my consciousness was swallowed up in an instant, and what happened next is unknown."
Xiao Family Great Elder shook his head and confided in endless hatred.
But he was also confused as to whether 'Impure World Reincarnation' could be resurrected.
Xiao Yan asked other people, and the results they got were the same. They were all killed neatly by a man in black robes, died in a daze, and were resurrected in a daze.
"Teacher, this is the matter"
"Well, there are many doubts. Maybe, next time you meet that Chen Guan, you will get some answers from him. Counting the time, he should be in Wutan City at that time."
"Let's put this matter on hold for now. What you need to do now is to arrange the Xiao Family group of people. These Wutan City are determined not to stay any longer."
Yao Chen guessed some of the inside story, but there were also many things that he didn't understand.
Soul Hall attacked Xiao Family not because of him and Xiao Yan, but because of that Ancient Jade? This made most of the guilt in the two people's hearts disappear, leaving only anger and doubt.
Xiao Yan nodded and began to think, how to resettle this group of tribesmen?
